comfortably in them and come out
sleek and fst in the spring. The country
wnen viewed from the top Of one OF these
mountains presents no valley whatever,
but as far IS the eye can reach 1t seems d
succession Of immense potato hills.
A great portion of the county Is COM
posed of these canyons and mountains,
the valleys being invariably rich and
highly productive.
Much of the land belongs to railroads
and the stste school fund, and the former
have demanded such exorbitsnt prices
for the lesds, while the latter have never
yet been surveyed, and therefore are not
on the market which have tended to re-
tard the settlement OF the country. It is
hoped these school lands will soon be
surveyed and classified, and thus rem.ve
this impeachment,
Lands owned by individuals can DE
purchased at from 81 80 to So per acre.
BSrksdsle is village of about 200
souls, situated in one of the most beautl-
full valleys of the Nueces canyon, about
four miles above Camp Wood, where
General John B. Hood mad his hesdQuar-
tiers prior to the war between the states.
Its citizens claim that 1t is very near the
center Of the county and altogether the
most desirable place for the county seat.
However this msy be, more beautiful
place for town could hardly be imagined
than is found here.

Travelling Correspondence of the Gazette.
BAEKsDALE, Tx, Oct. 25.-This coun-
ty WAS organized about four years ago,
aud at the time of the last general elec-
ton contained about 1900 inhabitants,
but the Twentieth Legislature sdded q
strip OF territory to it from Crockett
county, thus little more than doubling
It's sres and correspondingly increasing
It's population. The NueceS canon runs
through the county from northwest to
southeast, and is one Of the most beauti-
III valleys, perhaps, in the state. Il is
ABOUT eighty miles long and from three
TO ten miles wide. Through it flow the
tnree streams whicl together form the
Nueces river, ana all OF these streams are
leo by numerous springs of the cleGrest
a1o purest water.
These valley lands are very rich, being,
Tor the most part, of 8 black, loRmy ma
lure, and covered with heavy pecan
groves, sumach thickets, with some live
oak and sprinkling of other timber, and
me whole. except in the most dense
thlckets, which are scaIce, magnificent

A Negro Outlaw Convicted OF n Murder In
The Indian Territory.
Special 70 the Gazette.
FORT SMITH, ARK Oct. 27.-Jack
Crow, q notorious negro outlsw, was con-
victed of murder in the Federal court this
afternoon snd remanded to jsil to await
sentence of death. On the 9TH day of
August, 1884, Jack Crow and eight
ChoctaW Indians assassinsted in o most
brutal snd cowardly manner a prominent
citizen OF the Choctaw nation, Charles B.
Wilson. They intercepted him as he was
returning home from attending an cleo
ton, and Benton, one of the Indians, af-
Ter greeting him in friendly manner,
shot him three times in the breast. Viii
son fell to his knees and grappled
with Benton when Jack Crow
shot him through and through with 3
Winchester. Benton then shot him g
fifth time, aud while their victim lay pros
trated on the ground dying the man Ben
ton beat his head to q ely with pistol.
Crow remained at l4rge defyiDg all at
tempts to arrest till January last when he
was forced 70 surrender, by the house 10
which ne was fortified being set on f e
by the officers. The Federal court had
no jurisdiction over any of the assassins
except Crow, ana his companions have eli
been cleared in the ChoctsW courts
long since, justice up there being mere
farce. There were two eye witnesses to
the bloody deed who were afraid TO tell
the truth in the Choctaw court, but when
brought here told the whole story. This
makes six men now IN the United States
Jail under conviction for capital deeds
aud waiting sentence, FIVE for murder
snd-one for rape. There are still thirty
three in Jail awaiting trial for murder and
fourteen for rape.

ABILENE, TEX, Oct. Pit may seem
strange to say that the late drouth has
benefited this country, but nevertheless it
is true, and it is clearly demonstrated in
the varied methods that have been tried
and introduced Dy our farmers in cultiva-
ting this rich soil, and the yield of the
products planted
Two crops per annum on the same
ground is very common yield, the vol
untee- crop often being equal to the first
planting,
THE GAZETTE correspondent is inform
ed by fHImer residing near town that he
has raised TWO crops of corn this year,
and he is sanguine that it can be done
every year, by planting the first crop very
early. Truly it can be said that this is 8
remarkable country. The first frost of
the season fell last night.
